Abstract

The complex [Nd(L′){Ga(NArCH)2}(N″)(THF)], which exhibits the first f-element-gallium bond, is formed from the reaction between the N-heterocyclic carbene-supported neodymium complex [Nd(L′)(N″)(I)] (L′ = ButNCH2CH2{C(NCSiMe3 CHNBut)}; N″ = N(SiMe3)2) and the anionic gallium(I) heterocycle [Ga(NArCH)2][K(tmeda)] (Ar = 2,6-Pri2C6H3). The Nd-Ga bond energy is calculated to be 386 kJ mol-1. Copyright © 2007 American Chemical Society.
